How to Repurpose Worn Netherite Armor

Recovering Materials from Armor

Armor pieces eventually lose durability or become obsolete as you progress through the game or acquire better setups. With the Netherite Recycling Data Pack installed, you do not have to throw away your old protection. You can easily smelt or blast your netherite armor to reclaim your rare materials.

Smelting and Blasting Armor

Open up your furnace or blast furnace interface. Place your unwanted netherite armor pieces directly into the input slot. Ensure you have enough fuel loaded into the machine to power it through the entire melting process. When the process finishes, the netherite armor will yield valuable netherite scraps. Gather your recovered scraps from the output slot and use them to forge fresh equipment or repair your current adventures.
